School visits
Admission to the Snyders&Rockox House is free for each pupil and teacher.
Schools can choose from a range of free and paid programmes at the Snyders&Rockox House museum. Take a look further down this page. We’ll help you make and book your choice.
And it goes without saying that schools with their own projects are also welcome at the Snyders & Rockox House.
Let us know by e-mail when you’re coming. We can then work out the best approach together.
One last thing: are you looking for an unusual, fun place to have lunch with your class? We’re happy to offer our beautifully vaulted reception cellar. Mention in your e-mail if you’d like to use it.
If you have any questions or would like to talk to a member of the Snyders&Rockox House museum’s staff, feel free to contact us.
